    What is the best place for Kudu or Eland + other PG hunting?

    What is the best place for Kudu or Eland + other PG hunting?

    if I was only on a PG hunt Zim would not be it. DG plus PG absolutely! I would go to SA and hunt with @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS. You will find very nice Eland and Kudu and will work your butt off getting them. Better be in shape going up and down mountains. Incredible value and family as well

    One cartridge to hunt dangerous game for the rest of your life and it can't be a 375, what are you going with?

    404J. While i love my DRs if i can’t have a 375 then my 404J gives me the best option for both DG and PG

    I loved his mounts!!! However, after two tries to wire him funds and getting them sent back I have finally given up. He is in Serbia...he sent his banks wiring instructions but they are beyond me for understanding and he just could not explain them to me after two tries I give up.
